Crystal Palace vs Liverpool
Ryan Elliott (oddschecker): 1-1
Liverpool just keep drawing away from home, and will find it tough going at Selhurt Park against this solid Palace outfit.
WhoScored: 1-1
Liverpool have remarkably won just one of their six away league matches this season and Palace have already beaten Manchester United and drawn with Tottenham this season, so the Eagles have the ability to pull off an upset here.
Southampton vs Man City
Ryan Elliott (oddschecker): 1-1
Like with Liverpool, City haven't looked like much away from home, and could have a really nasty time of it at St. Mary's against a Southampton side who are flying.
WhoScored: 1-1
Southampton actually won their last home match against City and they are certainly in the right form to pull off a similar result here. Expect a tight game on Saturday.
Everton vs Arsenal
Ryan Elliott (oddschecker): 2-0
Everton have just started to motor once again, and they'll fancy themselves against a Gunners side who still look pretty toothless in front of goal.
WhoScored: 1-0
Everton's resurgence has come at a poor time for Arsenal, who have failed to score on their last two visits to Goodison Park. Still searching for decent form, Arsenal's miserable run looks set to continue on Saturday.
Newcastle vs Fulham
Ryan Elliott (oddschecker): 1-1
Scott Parker has sorted Fulham's defence out, but as a result they've been a lot more circumspect going forward. Their trip to Newcastle will undoubtedly be a tight affair, but the Cottagers are more than capable of snatching a point.
WhoScored: 0-1
Fulham do not have a fantastic record against Newcastle, losing their last encounter 4-0, but do have a real opportunity to change that on Saturday night. However, they cannot keep wasting good scoring chances.
Brighton vs Sheffield United
Ryan Elliott (oddschecker): 1-2
Albion's home form is just as wretched as United's away form, which is why this is the Blades' best opportunity to win their first of the season. Brighton are a soft touch at times, and this could bite them on Sunday.
WhoScored: 0-1
Chris Wilder should take plenty of positives from Thursday's display and carry that into this huge match. They have won their last two trips to Brighton by 1-0 scorelines.
Tottenham vs Leicester
Ryan Elliott (oddschecker): 3-1
Spurs' home record against Leicester is excellent in recent years, and I'm confident they have the tools, and the style, to beat them once again.
WhoScored: 3-1
It will be interesting to see how this match pans out. The Leicester of recent seasons have been devastating on the counter, but Brendan Rodgers has notably shifted the team to a more possession-based style this term, which would certainly play into Tottenham's hands.
Manchester United vs Leeds United
Ryan Elliott (oddschecker): 0-1
While they're rampant on the road, United are atrocious at Old Trafford, and they could be in for a shock against a Leeds outfit with three wins from their last five away games.
WhoScored: 2-3
Sunday's match-up promises to be a fascinating one. On one hand you believe Leeds' intensity is all wrong for Solskjaer's slow starters but then the home side have the forwards and counter-attacking threat that could really punish Bielsa's side. The neutrals should be in for a treat.
West Brom vs Aston Villa
Ryan Elliott (oddschecker): 0-2
Big Sam to start his Baggies tenure off with a defeat, against a Villa outfit who love travelling.
WhoScored: 1-1
There is no doubt that the visitors have more quality within their ranks but the hosts will be hoping for a new manager bounce and are undefeated at the Hawthorns against their local rivals in eight meetings since 2008.
Burnley vs Wolves
Ryan Elliott (oddschecker): 1-1
Dyche will be Dyche, with Burnley securing a creditable point.
WhoScored: 1-1
Four of the last six meetings between these sides have ended in draws, without a single away victory in that time, and given the form of both sides it's difficult to see beyond a similar outcome.
Chelsea vs West Ham
Ryan Elliott (oddschecker): 2-2
I'm expecting an entertaining game. Chelsea are looking to rediscover their form, while the Hammers will go to Stamford Bridge with no fear.
WhoScored: 2-2
West Ham actually won on their last visit to Stamford Bridge and Chelsea's current form would suggest a repeat result is certainly possible. However, Chelsea haven't lost at Stamford Bridge since the opening weekend of the season and will still be considered favourites here.
